d. E. Sassoon, the largest dealer in opium
in Hong Kong, recently arrived in San Fran
cisco. He declares that the culture of opium
in China is constantly increasing and that
few years will see Indian opium driven from
the market. The opium habit is gaining
ground among the Chinese people, despite
the efforts of the government to check it.
The frequent senslessness of English sem

Artificial clouds were recently made for
the protection of vines from frost at Pagny
on the Franco-German frontier. Liquid tar
was ignited in tin boxes and pieces of solid
tar on the ground near the vines. Large
clouds of smoke arose and protected the vine
yard for two hours. Although the vines in
the neighborhood were injured by the frost,

Mr.. Frank Vincent, Jun. the traveller,

has just returned from journey of two and

several important explorations of its imper-

clock recently patented in France is an
imitation of a tambourine, on the parchment
head of which is painted a circle of flowers,
corresponding to the hour figures of ordinary
dials. On examination two bees, one large
and the other small, are discovered crawling
among the flowers. The small bee runs rap
idly from one flower to another, completing
the circle in an hour, while the large one
takes twelve hours to complete the circuit.
The parchment surface is unbroken, and the
bees simply laid upon 1t, but two magnets
connected with the clock work inside the
tambourine move just under the membrane,
and the insects, which are of iron, follow
them.

The people of Aroostook, who fish in the

out let or hindrance, three-mile limits or po-
lice patrols, and enjoy unlimited commercial
privileges Of buying fly ointment and
other liquids desirable in fishing are
not Sc much troubled by the treaty of
1918 as by the more recent arrange
ment by which the Canadians are al
lowed to cut and float TO the Province one
hundred million feet of Aroostook lumber
annually, and rob Aroostook county of the
profit of manufacture. The Aroostook Re-
publican says that the lumber manufactured
in the province from timber cut in Aroos
took is sufficient to load s40o cars every year.
and quite rightly declares that the interests
of Aroostook and the State Of Maine de-
mand that Aroostook lumber be manufac-
tured in Aroostook.

1t is now quite generally suspected that
that long-tltled monarch, Abdurrahman
Khan, Ameer Of Afghanistan, is getting into
deep water. His soldiers are deserting him,
the rebellious Ghilzai tribe, instead of be-
ing whipped into submission and the pay
ment of taxes,is as defiant and more success
full than ever; and Abdurrahman has been
forced, as last resort, to issue proclama-
tion that the English are beyond the noun
tains ready to give their help to preserve or
der. Unfortunately, the prospect of English
Intervention may not be so pleasing to the
people of Afghanistan. 1t is yet within the
memory of every Afghan youth that an Eng
lsh army under General Roberts came over
those same mountains. carried fire and sword
into the heart of the country, dethroned and
sent into exile Ameer Ayoub Khan, and es-
tablished Abdurrahman Khan on the throne
with the bayonet. However much the pres
ent Ameer may trust in the English, there
can be no doubt that the Afghans themselves
do not participate in this confidence. This
the English know, and this is the
reason why England would enter with
extreme reluctance uponsa campaign very far
in the interior or north of Afghanistan.
Russia's operations beyond the northern
borders of Afghanistan continue without
cessation. The English believe that the reb-
els are receiving their supplies of arms from
Russia and it is without doubt true that the
Ameer can command no force sufficiently
strong to oppose the entry of the Cars
troops into Afghanistan, if their Imperial
master should feel disposed to order them
there. Russia's railroads. which she was
building rapidly when the last Afghan dis
pute arose, have been secretly pushed for
ward since for an indefinite distance, SO that
it is believed that Russian troops could be
moved to siege of Herat in few days. The
English, on the other hand even should AT
ghanistan be friendly. probably could not
move troops across to Herat in time to save
the place. An English railway up through
Bolan Pass has been hurriedly completed
since the war scare two years ago, so that
England has about the same access to the
southern border of Afghanistan and the
southern city Of Candahar that Russia has to
the northern border and the northern city of
Herat. Between the two cities lies an un-
certain country, through which it is not
thought likely that an English army would
dare to advance to help the Ameer should
Russia openly take the part of the rebels

OF the ward, rich and poor, participated
in grand feast in the old meetine

and under the supervision of Mrs. Al
Hadly, assisted by some of the mem.
oers Of the Ladies' Mutual Improve
ment Association. After the feast wa
over the people repaired to the new
meeting house, where they spent the
evening in songs, recitations and a
speech from the bishop, and the last four
hours was spent in dancing until II A.
all feeling well satisfied with the amuse-
ment OF the evening.
One of the p-inciF a, features CON-
menfed upon during the evening. was
the line ceiling OF the new meeting
house, which is elegant in design and
workmanship. Several people have
oeen heard TO say 1t is the most tasteful
ceiling they have seen in Utah. The
WORK was done by the able artists Lewis
q Taylor. The carpenter work is in.
the hands of Mr.. George RavbouId. of
whose skill and workmanship there is
no question, all of which adds materially
70 the appearance of the building.
